Roy Keane

Sacking the manager and only then commencing the process to find his successor is being labelled as keeping our integrity, but what it really is, is naivety in the extreme.

Look at WBA for example. Sacked their manager and had Bruce in about 20 minutes later, because they did what every other club in world football does and had their current manager's successor ready to go.

I'm sure having our "integrity" will go down well with our fans during the playoffs, or make us feel better about getting pumped by bottom of League One Doncaster FFS.

Then you have the owner liking posts about Keane getting the job earlier in the week, which automatically means if for any reason he doesn't take the job, they have whoever the next manager is pissing against the wind from day one.

I like a lot of what the decision-makers have done to-date, but their handling of this whole episode has been shambolic.

His optimised nutritional requirement involves the careful positioning of 7.64356 potatoes, 37 peas, 1.7495030 carrots and 37.4 grams of beef that has been cooked for 18.7 minutes to be put on the plate of maximal positional delectitude.

He’s going to share his screen with KLD this week. Pencilled in for Wednesday I think as he’s got a dentist appointment Monday and has to take his dog to the vet Tuesday.
 
You do WHATEVER it takes regardless
IMO if it was someone other than Keane i think we would have known by now

Thinking back to 2006 there are some parallels. The likes of Danny Collins, Whitehead, Nosworthy had just spent a season being embarrassed in the PL and confidence was completely shot. Keane managed to get them all doing their jobs very well in a side that went from bottom after five games to winning the league.

A lot of the problems we have now stem from young players being very low on confidence and not being able to cope when we go a goal down. I’d certainly trust him to sort that out.

Didn’t Keane just tell them they were shit and would amount to nothing to try and get them to prove him wrong? Don’t know if these cowards have it in them.

Neil has already been told he’ll be our captain in the PL by Speakman so the idea of mollycoddling them clearly doesn’t work.

This. 100%. As was the whole getting games played nonsense as we showed the league ‘how we do it’. That was naive too, given our injuries, form etc.
 
Can’t see Keane being asked about us again today, Ian Wright might crack a gag but he’s hardly going to be asked if there’s an update again as there doesn’t seem to be one.

In what sense have they been made to look like amateurs? They couldn’t have seen the 0-6 coming, sacked him the next day and although we haven’t confirmed his replacement, if they are working behind the scenes to get Keane (and given he’s got work commitments today and on Friday) it’s not like it’s dragging on.

That said I’m far from convinced by Speakman. If I were Roy Keane I’d come here with the confidence that a good job between now and May, regardless of the outcome, puts him in a strong position with KLD. ‘Him or me’ moving forward.

Just feel we've put all our eggs in one basket style wise and that will not suit Roy. Can't see the club ripping up the plan for him.

If the alarm bells aren’t ringing we will never succeed. Change is needed and hopefully someone has the balls to accept it.
 
I think speakmans video yesterday was wank, what the fuck he thought he’d achieve is beyond me, it’s like a naive level of transparency that achieves nowt except confuse everyone. Sacking lj After shipping 6 at a poor side was absolutely the right thing to do, his successor should have picked the team yesterday that’s the mistake they’ve made. If keanes the man give him what he wants and get him in, if not ffs get a manager in that can give us a bit of confidence and organisation.
